| ln Vitro |
nor-NOHA (0.1-1 mM, 72 h) induces apoptosis of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner under hypoxia (1.5% O2)[1]. nor-NOHA (1 mM, 72 h) can attenuate hypoxia-mediated imatinib resistance in K562 or KCL22 cells[1].
|
| ln Vivo |
nor-NOHA (100 mg/kg, intravenous injection, once) can significantly reduce infarct size in male Sprague-Dawley rats [2]. nor-NOHA (100 mg/kg IV once) increases plasma citrulline and nitrite levels and decreases plasma ornithine levels in male Sprague-Dawley rats [2]

Arginase activity assay[1]
Arginase activity was analysed as described with modifications. Cells were counted, and equal numbers of cells were lysed in 50μl of lysis buffer (PBS with 1mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X−100 and protease Inhibitors) and centrifuged for 15 minutes at 14,000g at 4°C. The supernatants were mixed with 50μl of freshly prepared activation buffer (10mM MnCl2, 50mM Tris-HCl pH7.5) and 50μl of 0.5M arginine, and heated for 10 minutes at 56°C. Thereafter, 800μl of acidic solution (H2SO4 (96%)/H3PO4 (85%)/H2O, 1/3/7, v/v/v) and 25μl of 9% α–isonitrosopropiophenone (in ethanol) were added to the mixture and heated for 15 minutes at 100°C. The mixture was allowed to develop colour in the dark. Finally, 250μl was transferred to a 96-well plate for OD measurements at 550nm. |

Measurement of cellular respiration by Seahorse Analyzer[1]
0.1x106 K562 cells were plated per well in poly–L–lysine-coated XF–24 well cell culture microplates in XF Assay media supplemented with 4.5 g/L glucose and 1mM sodium pyruvate. The cells were spin–immobilized to the microplates at 200g for 1 minute. The cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR), extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), and photon production rate (PPR) were obtained using an XF24 Analyzer from Seahorse Bioscience. The measurements were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using Oligomycin, Carbonyl cyanide–4–(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP) and Rotenone & antimycin A (R/A; all from Sigma−Aldrich) at the specified concentrations. Data was analysed using the Seahorse XF software. |
| Animal Protocol |
Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min of coronary artery ligation, followed by 2 h of reperfusion. The animals were given either saline, or the arginase inhibitor N-omega-hydroxy-nor-l-arginine (nor-NOHA) with or without the NO scavenger carboxy-2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) or the NOS inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) iv 15 min before ischaemia. The infarct size was 79 +/- 4% of the area at risk in the control group. Nor-NOHA treatment reduced the infarct size to 39 +/- 7% (P < 0.001). Administration of cPTIO or l-NMMA completely abolished the protective effect of nor-NOHA. Expression of arginase I was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in ischaemic myocardium. Nor-NOHA treatment resulted in higher plasma levels of nitrite (P < 0.05) and a 10-fold increase in the citrulline/ornithine ratio (P < 0.001), indicating a shift in arginine utilization towards NOS.
Conclusion: Inhibition of arginase protects from myocardial infarction by a mechanism that is dependent on NOS activity and bioavailability of NO by shifting arginine utilization from arginase towards NOS. These findings suggest that targeting of arginase is a promising future therapeutic strategy for protection against myocardial IR injury.[2] |
